I was so sorry to learn today the passing of Judy, a dear college friend. I was with her when we went outside to enjoy her first Minnesota snowfall.She lived across the hall from me and we enjoyed our time together so much. She came home with me for Easter break frosh year and I flew to Hawaii the summer after before she was leaving for the Maryknoll Sisters. Her parents and friends were so warm and welcoming to me. Throughout life we tried to stay connected. Sometimes staying connected was easier than others as life moved on with needs of family and careers . I finally returned to Maui nearly 40 years after my first visit., Being with her once again was like we were still young coeds all over again-laughing! She always had the best laugh! My heart goes out to her husband, son and daughter and to all those that loved her. Such a painful loss. The world was a better place with her in it and a lot bless bright now with her gone. I was honored to have known her.

Dearest Mrs. Yamanoue,
You were an icon of SAS with a profound impact on many folks, myself included. You were strict, but fair and compassionate at the same time. You knew how to laugh and love others with your big heart. Thank you for touching my life and being part of my high school memories. You will be so missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family while they grieve your loss.

With love,
Nikki

Dear Mrs Yamanoue
I will always remember you as a caring loving person who took a lot of pride in her work. You were my Japanese teacher at St. Anthony and I cherished those moments especially the time we went to Japan for the field trip. I am very sad knowing that I will not run into you randomly and say HI to you. I will hold you in my heart forever. Rest in peace now. To the Yamanoue family please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss.

Al and I surround you - Kazuo, Kenny, and Kristi - with light and love. We remember Judy with such fondness. She brought us so much joy and laughter. I will never forget our years teaching together with Joe Bartsch at St. Anthony High School. I recall our fun trip - the four of us - to Europe. And now both of our traveling buddies are gone. :-(. I will always cherish our friendship and getting to know you. Love, Virgie and Al Cantorna

Dear Mrs. Yamanoue, you will be missed. You were a staple at SAS and although I did not take Japanese class, I will remember you as a loving teacher and advisor to many. You were there for many years taking on so many different classes and personalities, as well as having fun with your colleagues. Those years for us were fun times and I'm happy you are at peace up in heaven with Mr. Bartsch, your daughter Jan, and other family, students, and colleagues who have passed. We will miss seeing you around campus and church but you will always be remembered. May your memories and spirit continue on with those who you loved, and who loved you. Wishing peace and comfort to your Ohana, your husband, Kristi, Kenny, and Evelyn. ~Ailina Laborte c/o '99

I'm blessed to have had some amazing teachers in my life, but you were far and away my best and most teacher ever, Mrs. Yamanoue. You understood me at a deeper level than I even understood myself as a young high school student. You believed in me more than I believed in myself and as I grew into adulthood to understand that, it helped to fuel my drives and ambitions. In the difficult times of adolescence, you lifted me up when I felt abandoned by others. I hope it was clear by the few cards and graduation announcements I sent you over years how much I appreciated your impact on my life, but I still wish I would have shared these very words with you in person. Thank you Mrs. Yamanoue. Thank you for teaching me the Japanese language. Thank you for believing in me and for teaching me to believe in myself. Thank you for giving me motivation to pursue my dreams. I hope I made you proud! Your spirit and my memories of you will continue to push me to become a better me. Thank you! Rest in peace and love Mrs. Yamanoue.

To my beloved mother.
I miss you everyday. You have given me inspiration, motivation, and love. For that I am forever grateful and honored. When I was 4 months old, you and dad made a choice. You did not have to, and for that I am truly blessed. You have shown me the meaning of compassion, generosity, integrity, and most importantly, acceptance. I am very proud to have called you “ mother”, knowing the fact that I was adopted. You are the only mother I have known and loved. We miss you dearly and love you ever more. Rest In Peace with Kayo and grandma and grandpa. This is not good bye, but see you again

I would like you to know, that although I have not always been the greatest son, I have grown and matured into a fine man. You have shown me the meaning of compassion, generosity, leadership, and above all, acceptance. I know you are with Kayo and grandma guys right now. Please Rest In Peace ma. Dad and I will forever hold you in our hearts.
